TCM_SETCURFOCUS
The
TCM_SETCURFOCUS message sets the focus to a specified tab in a tab control. You
can send this message explicitly or by using the TabCtrl_SetCurFocus macro.
TCM_SETCURFOCUS
wParam = (WPARAM) (int) iItem; // index of the tab that gets the focus
lParam = 0; // not used; must be zero
Parameters
iItem
Specifies the
index of the tab that gets the focus.
Return Values
No return
value.
Remarks
If the tab control
has the TCS_BUTTONS style (button mode), the tab with the focus may be
different from the selected tab. For example, when a tab is selected, the user
can press the arrow keys to set the focus to a different tab without changing
the selected tab. In button mode, TCM_SETCURFOCUS sets the input focus to the
button associated with the specified tab, but it does not change the selected
tab.
If the tab
control does not have the TCS_BUTTONS style, changing the focus also changes
selected tab. In this case, the tab control sends the TCN_SELCHANGING and
TCN_SELCHANGE notification messages to its parent window.
